Creation of Group Policy structure -> domain admin rights?
Hello all,
I am a freshly hired Sys Admin for a large company which runs a centralized Active Directory (AD) without (as far as i know) no Group Policy (GPO) structure in place... However, i got the word that it is a powerful tool that can ease the management of the client side so i am kind of interested by the product :-)
I am not a domain admin, but i have admin rights over several OUs... discussing with one of my colleague, i got the word that it wasn't possible to implement from scratch GPOs for managing OUs' users and computers without being first granted domain admin rights... Is it true? (apparently i won't be granted domain admin rights and no one will implement the GPO structure for me, so i am kind of stuck from the very beginning if this appears to be true!)
Thanks in advance to shed some light on this,
Kind regards,
C

Depending on what rights you have been Delegated in reagrds to your OU's, it is possible to be granted rights to create GPO's I would request from whomever manages your Active Directory to delegate permssions to create and manage those GPO's.

Thank you guys for your help. I know i will have to be careful with this, but before i start to learn how GPO are working, i just want to make sure whether i will be able to use them at all.
